What about (a configurable option) loading the page in a new window/tab?
This way you don't have to 'leave' the mythweb site. The problem is
that once you bring up the backend status page, the only way back into
mythweb is to either use the 'Back' button or re-enter the URL. Since
it's essentially a different site, using a new window/tab would seem to
be good web behavior.
Just my $.02.
